Design Notes

As of 2023, the TMS is a novel BioBrick, and not much is known about the specifics of TMS to RBS binding, as well as how an aptamer insertion into the D-loop will alter this binding, both in presence and absence of the ligand.

In this part, the entire aptamer was inserted into the D-loop

The part was ordered as a gBlock from IDT.

The TMS was developed by Avishek Paul during their PhD thesis, see the publication "Modular and Versatile Trans-Encoded Genetic Switches", A. Paul, E. M. Warszawik, M. Loznik, A. J. Boersma, A. Herrmann, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2020, 59, 20328.

The PFOA-sensitive aptamer was developed via SELEX , see the publication "Novel ssDNA aptamer-based fluorescence sensor for perfluorooctanoic acid detection in water", Junyoung Park, Kyung-Ae Yang, Yongju Choi, Jong Kwon Choe, Environment International, 2022, 158 107000.
